What to Love About Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

Truly. I adore this bread. While I love everything zucchini, this bread recipe is just a little special. I mean… it has chocolate! And that just about sums it up.

While I’ll always love our Healthy Morning Zucchini Bread, breakfast perfect, and our traditional forever favorite zucchini bread, this recipe is a bit different. It’s like a familiar friend with a tantalizing secret—hidden chocolate chunks, of course. And they are rather divine!

All I can say is let’s make this zucchini season last as long as possible! 

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread Key Ingredients

You will find ingredient measurements in the recipe card below, but here is a quick list of what you will need:

  • All-purpose flour
  • Baking soda and baking powder for leavening
  • Spices: Ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground cloves or cardamom
  • Large eggs
  • Brown sugar
  • Cooking oil
  • Vanilla extract
  • Fresh zucchini, finely grated
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • Chocolate chips or chocolate chunks (I’m using chocolate chunks)
  • Shredded coconut: This is an optional add-in but is delicious. You can use sweetened or unsweetened

How to Make Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

This recipe is so easy to make. Full step-by-step instructions are in the recipe card below, but here is a quick overview.

Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F and coating a loaf pan (either an 8.5 x 4.5 or a 9.5 inch loaf pan).

  1. Whisk the dry ingredients together in a small bowl.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, brown sugar, oil, zucchini, and vanilla. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, and then stir in the sour cream. Fold in chocolate chips and coconut (if using).
  3. Transfer the batter to the loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan and then cool completely on a rack.

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves or cardamom
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup brown sugar

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 medium zucchini finely grated (about 1 cup)
  • 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut optional
  • 1 cup chocolate chips or chocolate chunks

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉ and coat an 8.5 x 4.5-inch loaf pan or a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  • Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves (or cardamom) in a small bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with brown sugar, oil, zucchini, and vanilla. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and stir gently with a spatula until just mixed. Stir in the sour cream and fold in the chocolate chips and coconut (if using).

  1. This looks so good! By the way, I love the brown plates. Do you mind telling me their brand and where you got them from please? 🙂

    1. Hi Becky. I don’t mind at all! I purchased these as a set years ago at a vintage shop and haven’t been able to find them since. I’m now replacing them with Delamere Brown by Spode at Replacements.com. The originals (which I still LOVE) are Claytan Tableware from Malaysia. There is no pattern name but there are a few teacups available at Replacements as well. Here’s a link to that pattern too.
